Texas-Miami live stream (3/26): How to watch March Madness’ Elite 8 online, TV, time
Texas and Miami meet Sunday, March 26 for a shot at the NCAA tournament Final Four. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial) and Paramount+ (free trial).
Texas coach Rodney Terry and his second-seeded Longhorns — the best seed left in an upset-filled NCAA Tournament — have been savoring every moment of March Madness. It began two weeks ago with a run through Kansas to the Big 12 Tournament title on the same floor inside T-Mobile Center, and with a win over the No. 5 seed Hurricanes on Sunday night, it would end with a trip to Houston and Texas’ first Final Four appearance in 20 years.
The latest injury for the Longhorns involves Dylan Disu, the Big 12 tourney MVP, who hurt his left foot in the second-round win over Penn State. Disu had been a revelation during the NCAA Tournament’s opening weekend, but the 6-foot-9 senior had to watch most of their regional semifinal win over the Musketeers from the bench in a walking boot.
Terry called him “day to day” on Saturday, though it appears unlikely Disu will be available against Miami.
That won’t help when it comes to stopping Nijl Pack and Co.
The transfer from Kansas State, whose $800,000 deal with LifeWallet made him an early poster child for an era of name, image and likeness compensation, dropped seven 3-pointers and scored 26 points in leading the Hurricanes to an easy win over Houston on Friday night — thus eliminating the last No. 1 seed in the tourney.
Miami coach Jim Larrañaga called Pack’s performance “a joke,” one that left only his own team laughing, and it came after the Kansas State transfer scored 21 points in the Hurricanes’ NCAA opener against Drake and 12 in a second-round win over Indiana.
When is Texas-Miami?
Miami and Texas play in the Eight Eight of the NCAA tournament at 4:05 p.m. (5:05 p.m. ET) on Sunday, March 26.
